Description

A laundry drum
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a laundry drum for a drum-type
washing machine, dryer or the like.
[0002] The use of rotating drum-type washing machine is generally known.
It is conventional in such machines to utilize a number, for example three or four
agitating paddles projected inwardly in the inside of the drum to promote the
tumbling of articles being laundered during the washing and rinsing operation.
Great Britain Pat. No. 1 ,161 ,219 A issued to Philips Electronic on Aug. 13, 1969
exemplifies a plastic rib of substantially triangular cross-section with closed ends
so as to be in the form of a trough fastened to the inside of the drum by means of
projections extended from the edge of the trough and being held in two rows of
co-operating keyhole slots in the wall of the drum. The keyhole slots are in a
mirrored arrangement with respect to a central line between the two rows of the
slots. The problem with this arrangement of slots is that it will weaken excessively
the wall of the drum, because operational stress within the wall of the drum
cannot be distributed into regions between mirrored pairs of slots, thus causing
inequalities in stress distribution. On that way stresses are unevenly distributed
and failure by breakage may occur when working at a high spinning speed (e.g.
1500 rpm) during washing, rinsing or the like operation.
[0003] Moreover, the rib being secured to the cylindrical wall of the drum by
the projections provided on the edges of the trough engaging with the co-operating keyhole slots in the wall, obviously another fastening element such
as a screw as described in the prior art must be necessary for retaining the rib in
position after being engaged with the wall on the ground that the projections will
gradually deform plastically subjected to forces exerted from the engagement
between the projections and slots and as a result may slide out of the slots over a
long period of time.
[0004] Accordingly, one of the objectives of the present invention is to
provide an improved laundry drum for a drum-type machine that provides a
possible larger area along the peripheral direction of the drum to distribute the
stresses originated when the drum spins at a high speed so as to avoid the
deformation of the drum.
[0005] Yet another aim of the present invention is to provide an improved
laundry drum, in which the receptacles can secure and retain the clips of the
paddle in position respectively, even without the help of the fastening elements
such as securing screws, rivets, etc.
[0006] According to the present invention, the above-mentioned aims are
achieved by an improved laundry drum comprising a drum having a cylindrical
band, at least two rows of receptacles defined on the cylindrical band, said
receptacles arranged in a staggered sequence along a central line therebetween;
and at least one paddle fastened to the cylindrical band on an inside of said drum
by means of two corresponding rows of elastic clips extended from the paddle
and being held in said receptacles. Such arrangement of the receptacles provides a larger area along the peripheral direction of the drum to distribute the
stresses formed when the drum spins at a high speed in operation of washing,
rinsing or the like.
[0007] According to a further feature of the present invention, each
receptacle defined in the cylindrical band comprises a protrusion forming an
inclination portion and a holding portion. When the paddle is assembled onto the
drum, the clips of the paddle slide along the inclination portion and are securely
held in the holding portion of the receptacles, respectively. Each of the
protrusions preferably includes a cross-section of a triangle for forming the
inclination portion and a rectangle for forming the holding portion together with
the other side wall of the receptacle so as to secure the paddle permanent in the
holding portion and prevent the paddle from moving back or disassembling.
[0008] According to a further feature of the present invention, the
corresponding two rows of clips extended from the paddle have rotational
symmetry, which provides an easy way to assemble the paddle to the drum in
both senses in spite of the asymmetry of the receptacles.
[0009] Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will
become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred
embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a general perspective view of a paddle and the portion of the
laundry drum to which it is to be secured; Fig. 2 illustrates a detailed perspective view of a clip from the paddle as
shown in Fig. 1 ;
Fig. 3 illustrates an assembly process of a clip of the paddle before
clipping and clipped;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the paddle assembly.
[0010] Referring to Fig. 1 , a laundry drum 1 for a drum-type washing
machine, dryer or the like comprises a cylindrical band 2 and at least one paddle
3 fastened on an inside of the drum 1. At least two rows of receptacles 4 are
defined on said band 2 for correspondingly receiving two rows of clips 5 extended
from the paddle 3. Said receptacles 4 are arranged in a staggered sequence
along a central line 6 between the two rows breaking with the symmetry of the
receptacles 4, as a consequence, providing a relative larger area around to
distribute the forces when the drum is spinning at a high speed during washing,
rinsing or the like operation. In the present embodiment, the central line 6 is
parallel to the rotating axis of the drum 1 , equal numbers of receptacles are
defined on both sides of the central line 6. Alternatively, the central line 6 may not
be parallel to the rotating axis of the drum, different number of receptacles may
be defined on both sides of the central line 6, provided that the receptacles 3
defined on the band 2 can meet the requirements of mechanical property to hold
the paddle 3 securely on the band 2.
[0011] By referring to Fig. 3, each of the receptacles 4 further comprise a protrusion 7 projecting inwardly in each of the receptacles 4, separating each of
the receptacles 4 into an inclination portion 8 and a holding portion 9. Said
protrusion 7 includes a cross-section of a triangle forming the inclination portion 8
and a rectangle forming the holding portion 9 together with the other side walls of
each of the receptacles 4. When the paddle 3 is assembled onto the drum 1 , the
clips 5 of the paddle 3 slide along the inclination portion 8 and eventually are held
at the holding portion 9. Preferably the inclination portion 8 has an angle at
substantially 45 degrees. A junction of the holding portion 9 and the inclination
portion 8 has an angle at 90 degrees, which provides that this engagement
between the clips 5 and the holding portion 9 of the corresponding receptacle 4 is
of a permanent type and with no substantial freedom of movement.
[0012] As shown in Fig. 1 , the two rows of clips 5 extended from the paddle
3 preferably have rotational symmetry, which provides that the worker has a great
facility of assembly since the paddle 3 can be assembled in both senses in spite
of the asymmetry of the receptacles 4 of the cylindrical band 2.
[0013] The paddle 3 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 further comprises a hollow
body 10 being open toward the cylindrical band 2 at the region where the paddle
3 is secured, a plurality of parallel interior nerves 11 locate in the hollow body 10
to increase the rigidity of the paddle 3, one end of each of the interior nerves 11
having a protrusion base 12 extended from an inside of the paddle 3. When the
paddle 3 is assembled together with the drum 1 , the receptacles 4 will be covered
by the protrusion base 12 respectively. Preferably, at least a threaded hole 13 is disposed at one end being opposite to the protrusion base 12 of the interior
nerves 11 to lodge a fastening element such as a screw through a corresponding
hole 16 in the cylindrical band 2 for a better fixing of the paddle 3 to the cylindrical
band 2. Also, at least one tab 14 extends inwardly along one row of the two rows
of receptacles 4 to engage with one of the interior nerves 11 for preventing the
paddle 2 from moving back after being assembled.
[0014] Furthermore, to form a better so-called "rain effect", which means
that after being lead upward by the paddle 3, the water falls down better in a
manner like a shower to moisten the articles in laundry, a plurality of leaks 15 are
disposed on an upper side 17 of the paddle 3 as shown in Fig. 4.
[0015] Also as shown in Fig. 4, the overall length L' of the paddle 3 is made
shorter than the distance L between two circular end walls of the drum 1 so that
trapping of the articles being laundered is obviated.
[0016] It is to be understood that even though numerous characteristics and
advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing
description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the
disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in
matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the
invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in
which the appended claims are expressed.
